I got it yesterday! I was hoping someone would start a thread but it’s probably too early!! I love it, even though I was concerned about the corners! I love the bigger embossing, it’s a twist I like! It’s so easy to carry, and I like the way there’s a lot of space inside. I really wanted the Montaigne but the way it was divided inside was a little off putting. So glad I got it!

Love it!! I actually had a Montaigne on order but cancelled it to get this one. I was so torn between sizes. Which one is yours? And completely agree about the divider on the Montaigne. Love the bigger embossing too. Such an updated look! I have the grand coming tomorrow. Hoping it’s similar in size to the Montaigne mm.
Mine is the mm! It is almost the exact same size, give it take a cm or two! It’s so easy to carry, I got compliments the minute I brought it out. I hope you love it, please share some photos!! Definitely glad I got the mm, the smaller one was just too small!
I have the Grand Palais and I absolutely love it! It's perfect work bag, it fits my macbook pro 13 and lots of other staff. And finally - a bag with a zipper!
Seeing you with it solidified my choice! I had it set aside as they only got one, but was really unsure until I saw yours on you!
I just received mine in the Petit. I LOVE the look but have 2 major complaints—that the strap attaches to the handles (like the Alma BB), which makes it hard to access the zipper when it’s worn crossbody. Second complaint is that it feels super super heavy to me. Anyone else finding this?
I don’t find it too heavy, I actually like the solidness of it. It is a heavier bag though. I find the Neo Noe too lightweight, insubstantial. That may be because I got that in empreinte. I still love it, but I do think I’ll be reaching for this a bit more. I thought I wouldn’t like it but in person I was sold!
Love this!! I returned the Montaigne MM and the Neo Noe Empriente Noir after my SA showed me this one. She told me it was just released last Friday. They only had the Turtle Dove in the Grand size but I was able to see the black in the smaller size and fell in love with the updated look and the interior. The petite is cute but definitely too small, for me.
I think it was the modern twist that got me too!! It’s just so beautiful! I can’t wait to see yours!!
I'm so tempted by this now... I've been looking for something that will hold my iPad and a few other bits... but with a ZIP (or a flap closure). The security of a zip / closure of some kind is really important to me - maybe I'm paranoid, but bags are only for me, if they're secure.
*And* it has the strap, as well as handles...
This is my ideal bag. Despite saying I'd only go for preloved as that's better value, I'm super tempted... ha! (Probably a good thing for my credit card that the Bicolour Monogram is currently out of stock on the UK website haha!)
It has everything for me, I’m out for the day and I have a change of clothes for my toddler, mini iPad, everything!
She arrived today, but I’m concerned it may be too big. I’ve attached some mod shots of me carrying it as an arm bag, shoulder bag, and crossbody. What do you think?

What do you want to carry in her? She's big enough on you to look as bordering on 'girlie briefcase' (I'd not say that in a 'bad' way... I think it looks good, to be fair), BUT... if she carries more or less the amount you want her to, I feel like she's a good option.... If there's more room than you need, maybe she's not the right 'fit' for you...
Looks too big for an everyday handbag. Definitely looks too big with the strap. Looks better hand held. If you are using for work and need the room then I say it’s fine. If using to run around for everyday, I think it looks too big.
